Application filed June 2, 1909. Serial No. 499,761.

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, ZACHARIER M. PAUL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Forth 701th, in the county of Tar-rant, State of Texas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in /Vrenches; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to wrenches and has special reference to acombined monkey and pipe wrench.

One object of the invention is to improve the general construction ofcombined wrenches of this character.

Another object of the invention is to provide a double ended wrenchformed to be used as a pipe wrench at one end and to be used as a monkeyor nut wrench at the opposite end.

VVith the above and other objects in view, as will be hereinafterapparent, the invention consists in general of a stock or shank providedat one end with a pipe wrench head and at the other end with a nutwrench head, a sliding jaw mounted on the stock and arranged to coactwith one of the fixed jaws or heads and a second jaw arranged to coactwith the other head and pivotally mounted on the first mentioned jaw.

The invention further consists in certain novel details of constructionand combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, and specifically set forth in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, like characters of reference indicate likeparts in the several views, and :Figure 1 is a side elevation of thewrench with the jaws locked in position. Fig. 2 is a similar view partlyin section showing the jaws unlocked and ready to be adjusted along thestock. Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is adetail view of a portion of the pivot aw.

The numeral indicates the shank or stock and this stock is provided atone end with a fixed jaw 11 having a flat face adapted to grasp the sideof a nut while the other end of the stock is provided with a jaw 12having a serrated face arranged to grasp a pipe. The shank or stock isfurther provided along a portion of its length with teeth 13.

free end of the bar 16 is moved toward the shank 10. Upon the free endof the bar 16 is formed a jaw 18 arranged to coact with the jaw 12 andsecured to the bar on the side next to the shank 10 is a spring 19arranged to permit the necessary yielding of the jaw 18 when a pipe isgrasped. Secured to the sides of the bar 16 are handle members 20 andupon one of these handle members is pivoted a hookor latch 21 while theother handle member carries a coacting keeper 22.

In using this wrench when it is desired to adjust the same the latch 21is swung around so that the bar 16 may have its free end moved away fromthe shank 10 and the teeth 17 be disengaged from the teeth 13. The jawsmay then be moved to the required position and the free end of the bar16.

swung in until the spring strikes the shank 10 when the latch 21 may bepositioned across the back of the bar to engage the keeper and retainthe various parts in place.

There has thus been provided a simple and efilcient device of the kinddescribed and for the purpose specified.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is

1. In a wrench, a shank, a fixed jaw at each end thereof, a movable jawslidable thereon, a second movable jaw pivoted to the slidable jaw,coacting engaging means on the pivoted jaw and shank, and a latch tohold the pivoted jaw against the shank.

2. In a wrench, a shank, a fixed jaw at each end thereof, a movable jawslidable thereon, a second movable jaw pivoted to the slidable jaw, aspring fixed on the pivoted jaw adjacent its free end and bearingagainst the shank when the free end is moved inward, coacting engagingmeans on the pivoted jaw and shank, and a latch to hold the pivoted jawagainst the shank.

3. In a wrench, a shank, afixed jaw at each end thereof, a movable jawslidable thereon, a second movable jaw pivoted to the slidable jaw,coacting teeth on the pivoted jaw and shank, handle members carried onthe pivoted jaw and extending over the sides of the shank when the jawsare locked,
